The binomial distribution is an important discrete distribution. It gives the probability of the number of "successes," in a sequence of n independent binary trials. This applet allows users to drag ...

We examine how the binomial distribution B(n, p) arises as the distribution Sn = ∑i=1n Xi of an arbitrary sequence of Bernoulli variables. It is shown that B (n, p) arises in infinitely many ways as ...
